Tent camp grows in Madrid's Puerta del Sol over housing crisis
Original: ‘It keeps growing’: the tent camp that stands against #Spain ’s #housing crisis https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s
A protest encampment is sprawling across Madrid's central Puerta del Sol plaza, with demonstrators setting up tents to denounce Spain's housing crisis and what they call a 'rentier economy' of soaring rents. Organisers and participants say the camp keeps growing as more people join, turning the square into a focal point for anger over unaffordable housing.
Why now: Housing costs and rent protests are a pressing political issue in Spain, and the camp's visible growth is drawing public attention.
